WHAT IS HOME WATCH ?

Home Watch is a specialized service that involves regular, comprehensive visual inspections of your vacant or unoccupied home. Unlike traditional property management or house sitting, Home Watch focuses solely on the security and upkeep of your property, ensuring it remains in great condition while you’re away. Our Certified Home Watch Professionals (CHWP) are trained to spot potential issues before they become costly problems, providing peace of mind that your home is in expert hands.

PEACE OF MIND :

Our NHWA accreditation means you can trust us to always provide reliable, trustworthy service. We’re fully licensed, insured, and bonded, giving you the peace of mind that your property is in the best possible hands.

For realtors, managing every detail can be overwhelming. That’s why partnering with the Certified Home Watch Professionals at Acuity Advantage Home Watch is a game-changer. In one of our recent success stories, we seamlessly stepped in while the homeowners were away to ensure their property was show-ready. We managed everything from snow removal to prepping the home for showings—lights on, ensuring pristine conditions, and securing the property post-showing. Our team provide peace of mind to realtors by offering meticulous care and detailed reports that add an invaluable layer of trust and security, ensuring homes are in perfect condition, even during the homeowner's absence.

Our services are perfectly aligned with insurance requirements, which often mandate regular checks of vacant or unoccupied homes to maintain coverage. By partnering with Acuity Advantage Home Watch, you can rest easy knowing that your home meets these requirements, drastically reducing the risk of claims being denied. This is especially crucial for estate lawyers and executors managing properties during probate, as it ensures these homes stay secure and in good condition.

Whether you need your unoccupied property cared for, a vacant home thoroughly inspected, or professional support managing real estate listings and estates, Acuity Advantage Home Watch is your trusted partner. While terms like "house sitting Calgary" and "house sitting Whitehorse" may appear in searches, our focus is on the alternative of home watch services that keep your property secure and maintained to the highest standards.

At Acuity Advantage Home Watch, we don’t just meet expectations—we exceed them. As Certified Home Watch Professionals (CHWP), accredited members of the National Home Watch Association (NHWA), licensed, insured, and bonded, we uphold the highest standards in the industry.
